If the Kremlin ever Wakes Up Things Will Go Badly for the West
Paul Craig Roberts- To what conclusions does Russia’s passivity to provocations lead?
As I have emphasized for a number of years, the Kremlin’s passivity in the face of provocations encourages more and worse provocations. I have expressed concern that the provocations will cross a red line, and the Kremlin will cease being a passive receiver of provocations. When that time comes, the West might not be prepared for the consequence, comfortable, as it was expressed by the US Department of State the other day, that Russian red lines are just “bluster.”
